Can the hard drive be easily replaced with a SSD?

Yes, I replaced the HD with a 256 Samsung EVO (not pro) for around $150 on Amazon. I also swapped the 4GB RAM stick for an 8GB PNY RAM Stick... usually around $60-$65. These upgrades speed the laptop considerably!

Absolutely. Use Carbon Copy Cloner and that will work great. However, I would just take the old HDD and stick it in a drawer as a backup drive, get another SSD and use it as external super fast storage.

Yes sir you can. Although this is possible, working with the internal hardware of any laptop can be sensitive work due to the obvious, you don't want to harm your machine! There are two courses of action I would suggest regarding this matter. 1) Bring your machine with your additional purchased SSD to a local PC workshop near you and get an estimate from them on how much it would cost to have a professional install (I would not send my machine out of state via mail to have it worked on due to shipping fees, insurance etc... 2) Research the matter online through you tube videos and forums and such, until you feel comfortable with the process and idea of doing it yourself (this is NOT an impossible feat by a long shot!) Here is one such video -&gt; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUJ7r2Ir4GU Of course there are other methods of action but these are the two that I would suggest.

Sure, actually that is what I'm doing with my old HDD. You can do it with your SSD.

changing the drive is easy, any SSD SATA would do. I would go about 250g or bigger if you can afford it. Don't forget to clone from the original to get all the proper drivers .

A solid state drive could be fitted to replace the existing hard drive. These are currently very expensive, particularly if you wanted to replace the existing 1 Terra-byte disc. There would not be room to fit an additional drive. Of course, you could always use an external SSD, utilising one of the many the USB ports.

Yes, you can. Also included are two bay areas, so you can install both the SSD and the HDD that came with it.

I wouldn't bother. You could easily buy an ssd and ram and do it yourself quite easily if your at all familiar with computers.

Hard drives are almost always serviceable (replaceable) for most computers, including the Yoga. See this thread regarding ideas for changing out the hard drive for an SSD: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Idea-Windows-based-Tablets-and/Yoga-2-13-Internals/td-p/1472366

The Intel SSD HD can replace any 3.5 or 2.5 SATA drive (there is an adapter to fix in space for the HD 3.5 inch). I prefer to reinstall the software on the new HD. My desktop was very fast.

It's an mSATA SSD, not a hard drive, and there is a video on blog dot parts-people dot com that shows how to replace it.

Yes that is possible. The harddisk is accessable and replaceable. If you want you can also add it to the machine. However there is no mounting bracket for it. So you would have to get creative. But there are enough sata ports.

I think it is replaceable but u have to be aware that since this is a ultrabook they put m-SSD not just regular SSD. So if u want to replace the SSD then u have to buy m-SSD not the regular SSD

Yes. There are some videos on YouTube about swapping the hdd for an ssd one and even videos where you can take out the DVD drive and buy a mount that is the perfect match for a second ssd.

yes, put the hard drive in an external enclosure to convert it into an external hard drive

You can but you will need a new copy of Windows (unless you manage to transfer your OS files to the new drive) and you may want a hot swap USB adapter if you want to transfer your files from the current HD to the new one or use it without throwing it in a desktop. The SSD should noticeable speed up your Dell, too. And look up tutorials on removing and installing laptop hard drives

Yes, it is upgradeable to 240/500GB M2 SSDs, but you need to void the warranty (as it requires modification of the internal hardware and opening the computer) and requires some configuration from the HDD, so it is possible a clean install of Windows may be required after modification to accomodate the new SSD drive.
